One of the outcomes is an online forum of 100 outlook pages exploring a wide range of scientific disciplines and technologies, from dark energy to climate change to technologies of cooperation to ecosystem modeling to programmable materials.

Many studies conclude that resistance of any sort quantitatively increases your likelihood of a violent outcome, although there are limitations that make these conclusions debatable (see “The Relationship between Victim Resistance and Injury in Noncommercial Robbery”, Philip J. Cook, The Journal of Legal Studies, Vol. 15, No. 2 (Jun., 1986), pp. 405 – 416, The University of Chicago Press); in any case, the efficacy of resistance on outcomes is simply not cut anddried.

Off the top of my head the best example of focusing on outcomes is President Kennedy's proclamation: "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth."
